A poignant and touching film that unfolds like a novel by Israeli novelist Etgar Keret and his wife Shira Geffen about a group of random people in Tel Aviv. A fresh film that shows us a different side of Israel far from the political conflicts that seemed to define it. Like anywhere else people fall in and out of love. Some succeed in life while others fail. It's about sacrifices and consequences. It seems a like a strong year for the cinema in Israel along with The Band's Visit and Beaufort. Unlike the other two this film avoids the war and conflict like the Lebanese film "Caramel." YRCinema's coverage of AFI Fest 2007.
